[SOLVED] Can I split a 6+2 connector in 6 pin and 8 pin for GPU?

[Zakskii]

Hi guys,
My current setup:

• PSU(650W): only 1 PCIe powercable (6+2)
• GTX 970 which requires 2x 6 pin. RIght now the 6+2 connector is split in 2x 6 pins with the extra 2 pins just flinging around at the moment
• This is the current cablesetup You can see the 2 6 pins at the right and the 2 pin on the left

My problem: I want to upgrade to a GTX 2070 Super which requires a 6 pin and a 8 pin.

Question:

• Can I just 'add' the 2 pins? So that I have one 6+2 pin and one the 6 pin? So one 6+2 pin and from that split to another 6 pin?
• Or do I need a new PSU with more PCIe connectors?
• Any other solutions?

I am really struggeling with this and I cannot find any clear answer online. Any help is really appreciated. You already have my thanks for reading this! Have a great day

to answer your question basically becasue no one understands what your saying, YES if you are talking about the one cable that has a 6 pin, and a 6+2 pin. the reason it has 2 connectors like that is to run a card that requires that

EDIT: saw the picture, yes thats meant for a card that uses 8pin, and 6 pin connectors! your fine
